Here's my collection.Rise of the Rookies - Mark Surge, Jimi Stringer, Xplode, Corroder, Meltdown, Rotor, Von NebulaOrdeal of Fire - Surge 2.0, Evo 2.0, Nex 2.0, Nitroblast, Drilldozer, Jetbug, Fire LordSavage Planet - Nex 3.0, Stringer 3.0, Raw-Jaw, Waspix, Fangz, Scorpio, Witch DoctorBreakout - Evo, Surge, Splitface, Toxic Reapa, Black Phantom, and I'll probably get Jawblade for my birthday, which is soon.I have a plan for which I will buy. Every version of Stringer, Surge, Evo, and Nex. Also, every villain, because I like the villains way more than the heroes, usually. I REALLY want to find Thunder, but, of course, everywhere I look there is every single villain EXCEPT for Thunder. I had the chance to buy him, but I didn't take it at the time...

Thunder is all over eBay!As for me, I just want to get all of them. 1.0 heroes, however, especially Bulk, Stringer, and Stormer, are incredibly rare/expensive...

I AM A TOA OF SOUND. I CAN IDENTIFY DRUM N BASS BY THE VIBRATION OF THE GROUND. I CAN HEAR MAKUTA ROAR FROM MILES AWAY. I AM JUST THAT FREAKING AWESOME.

1.0: Everything except Drop Ship (still plan on getting it).2.0: Furno, Evo, Fire Lord, Drilldozer, and Nitroblast3.0: Stormer, Waspix, Witch Doctor4.0: Everything available in the US =P.I skimped on 2.0 and 3.0; as much as I liked the system, it just didn't feel as compelling to get that many of them. I do think I might hunt down Jetbug and some of the animals at some point, though.Also assorted Recon members.

2010: NoneEarly 2011: Breez 2.0, Surge 2.0, Stormer 2.0, Fire Lord, JetbugMid-2011: Bulk 3.0, Raw-JawEarly 2012: Surge, SplitfaceIt doesn't seem like a huge collection, but as with BIONICLE I tend to split things with my siblings, so as a family we have quite a few sets.

No escape let the fever rise as our horses rage and our goal's in sight maybe I'm the oneI'm the one who will fallLay me down on a bed of stone I will wait for you as I rest my soul I will watch you rideWhen you reply to the call

Never bought, never will. I hate those designs. The armor on Bionicle seemed interwoven and a part of the body, this HF armor is like slapping dinner plates on a skeleton. (That includes the amount of armor gaps in doing such a thing) And the FACES...they look like something out of Power Rangers.

Hmmm. I believe I have everyone realeased so far except for the Furno Bike and Scorpio.I also have bought a secong Rocka XL for parts (clearance for $11.00!), but that doesn't really count as part of the collection.Kalhiki

You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy! I just love it when my computer doesn't tell me when my battery is getting low!(that's sarcasm, by the way)

I disagree. As I see it, Hero Factory armor helps to create a substantial-looking anatomy unlike, say, Mistika Tahu Nuva's upper legs. Hero Factory shells are also largely consistent with one another, so you can use them in pretty much any combination. And parts like the arms won't look quite as flimsy-looking or riddled with holes if left un-armored compard to several BIONICLE joint pieces.I'm obviously not a fan of all Hero Factory sets, which is part of the reason I never bought any 1.0 sets. The new building system is what really got me hooked, hence why I collected so many sets from that series. It feels more substantial and versatile to me than BIONICLE, not less. As I see it, it's better to have the freedom to assemble a body from skeleton parts and shells than to have specialized body parts like lower legs and torsos built for you. That same "versatility" aspect is part of the reason I preferred the Toa Inika torso to most earlier designs. Sure, a pre-assembled torso design like the Toa Mata or Toa Metru torsos will look more substantial than some custom torsos using the Toa Inika design, but you're much more limited in what you can do with them at that canister-set scale.If you're worried about torsos looking gappy, it's worth mentioning that the latest series of Hero Factory sets has included back armor for many of the medium-size figures. So far the only set I own personally that does this is Splitface, but I plan to possibly moderator my Surge figure to have back armor in the same style as the newest version of Breez, if I can get a hold of one of those 1.0 feet in Bright Blue. Even though I personally own only two Breakout sets so far, I plan to get many more since I feel this year's sets really demonstrate the versatility of the new building system.

Only an opinion. And really, Bionicle had an interchangeable armor system too, but the armor was more unique. Just grab an "upper limb piece", the kind that became standard in the Inika, and you can slap basically anything on it. (That includes things that aren't even armor, like the Phantoka/Mistika gear, and you can even slap on certain limbs, for whatever reason.)I do see where you're coming from, though. I just don't agree with it at all.

I think it'd probably be easier for us all if I just list the sets I don't have, given I'm something of a compulsive buyer and a completionist.1.0 - I have every set.2.0 - I don't have Breez 2.0, Surge 2.0 nor Nex 2.0.3.0 - I don't have Fangz or Scorpio.4.0 - I lack Toxic Reapa, Jawblade and Thornraxx.

I haven't gotten any Hero Factory sets since last year, but here's what I own personally (not counting my brothers' collections):

[*]2143 Rocka 3.0 (lions)[*]2144 Nex 3.0 (and tigers)[*]2183 Stringer 3.0 (and bears, oh my! )[*]2231 Waspix[*]2232 Raw-Jaw[*]2233 Fangz[*]2236 Scorpio[*]2282 Rocka XL[*]2283 Witch Doctor[*]7145 Von Nebula[*]7158 Furno Bike[*]7179 Dunkan Bulk and Vapor[/list]I hope I can get the chance to pick up some 2012 sets, though there are a couple of themes that I still want to get some sets from.

1.0: Stringer, Breeze, Meltdown, Corroder, XPlode2.0: Stormer, Furno, Nex, Breeze, Evo (2x), Surge (4x), Drilldozer, Nitroblast3.0: Rocka, Stringer, Bulk, Nex, Rocka XL, Waspix, Raw-Jaw, Fangz, ScorpioBreakout: Evo, Furno, Rocka, Toxic ReapaI ended up loving the new building style and bought many of the 2.0 characters for their parts (include 4 of Surge for the blue elements, even though I disliked his design), and then got a bunch of 3.0 characters from Lego to review. Currently my favorite is still Bulk 3.0.
